hello,
there always been problem with nvidia proprietary driver. On 12.10, i was not able to start audacity. i don't know about skype.
i think i read somwhere that the intel GPU drivers was completely rewriten, so that's certainly the cause of the bug. since it affect lot's of people i hope that the ubuntu team will find a workaround or jump back to the old version quite quickly.
but yes, the "wait few weeks before updating" rules is still valid.
cheers c

Here with (to use Intel graphics): $ skype it is OK.
But with (to use NVidia): $ optirun skype Skype crash.
But with Pd, it is different : Pd crash X server even with or without optirun as describe Cyrille in his previous message (when you open a big (?) patch and start to add object that contains more than 3 letters). If you start a patch from scratch, you can create several objects without problem...
My configuration : Pd-0.44.3 ("") compiled 11:55:24 Apr 29 2013 Ubuntu 13.04 Linux jack-GE60-0NC-0ND 3.8.0-19-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 17 18:16:28 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ++

Someone has found a solution for this X crash ? ++

Not a real solution, but I found the reason for the crashes was the intel driver for me, so I replaced it by an older one.
I am still using ubuntu 12.04, but I installed newer intel drivers from a ppa some time ago and suddenly got the same problem as users updating to 13.04.
for me the reason was this package (has newer driver sources than 12.04): https://launchpad.net/~glasen/+archive/intel-driver/+sourcepub/3088701/+list...
I downgraded to the regular 12.04 package for the intel driver and the x crashes were gone. maybe it's possible to install the package from 12.04 on a 13.04 installation?
got mine from here... http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/xserver-xorg-video-intel
